Do you remember playing "Never Have I Ever" in high school? College? What about as an adult? In this new novel by Joshilyn Jackson, Amy Whey is about to play the game of her life. Amy is proud of her ordinary life--teaching diving lessons, baking cookies for new neighbors, helping her best friend, Charlotte, run their local book club and enjoying the closeness her family provides. Amy's carefully crafted, uncomplicated life beings to unfurl when a mysterious new neighbor crashes the latest book club meeting.
Angelica Roux is an enigma wrapped up in a mystery. She's beguiling and sinister at the same time. After Roux convinces the ladies to join in a very different game of "Never Have I Ever," and asks the group--what's the worst thing you've ever done. Somehow Amy knows that Angelica is aware of Amy's dark and painful past and that the game is really directed at her.
Amy decides to take on Roux and protect all she holds dear. She's not going to pay, literally or figuratively, for her past any longer. Amy and Roux engage in an escalating war of hidden pasts and unearthed secrets that ultimately ends with a shockingly dark twist.
